Out Of Hand, Kyle MacNeil

I recently received this charming little ebook from one of the UK's younger creators Kyle MacNeil.

Up for grabs is an inventive set, seven to precise of (almost all) self-working effects that are designed to give the spectator all the adulation. 

There are a few tricks which use double facers, dupes etc which don't suit my impromptu style, but like the non-gaffed effects they're all workable routines with some neat ideas to inspire your own creativity.

To note a few of my highlights,'Spec does the sandwich' is a cool hands off effect which contains so many nice elements plus a kicker, I've already started using this one! 

'Bi-predicto' exploits the design of the Bicycle card box, a prop which we naturally carry around so these types of tricks are always welcomed, clever thinking creates an entertaining premise.

'Godly transposition' is a brilliant transpo thats staged in the specs hand & happens face up! Sounds impossible, but is actually very simple, worth checking out.

So there we have it, a short review for a short set of notes, but as we all know it's not the size that matters! Recommended.
